Litecoin Hovers above $56 after a Sharp Fall, Attempts to Move Up

Today, buyers attempted to retest the $60 high but were repelled. Before now, the price has been retesting the resistance soon after LTC fell in value on August 2.

Today, Litecoin is rising after falling to the current support at $56. The coin risks falling to $52 low if sellers push prices below the current support.
